3. The foot is an unhappy member, and carries a man to much wickedness. It is often swift to the shedding of blood: and runneth away from God Jonahs pace; flying to Tarshish, when it is bound for Nineveh. There is a foot of pride, Psal. 36. a saucy foot,1 that dares presumptuously enter upon Gods free-hold. There is a foot of rebellion, that with an apostate malice kicks at God. There is a dancing foot, that paceth the measures of circular wickedness. Yet as unruly as this foot is, it hath been tamed. David got the victory over it. I considered my ways,2 and turned my foot unto thy testimonies. The foot hath been tamed, but the Tongue can no man tame, &c.
